So my moms co worker aka "good friend" sold me a 97 gle maxima with 137xxx miles on it. Its pretty decent for its condition. But i dont know anything about cars and stuff like that. He said 2,700 for the car and when i went to get the car (with 1800 up front) he raised it to 3,000...i kno, asshole, right? then he said your only giving me 1500 cause it costs 300 for the title transfer, fees and blah blah blah. sry dnt remember what else but i do have temp plates and city sticker. He seems to be pro with selling cars n such knowing he told me he does. he also said he'd fix the check engine light and the struts before he sold it to me to make sure its in working condition. So finally i got tired of the noises and the instability of the struts, plus the check engine light. so he told me to give it to "HIS" mechanic which i did. His mechanic i guess, fixed the strut but i can still sorta hear it, just quieter. The owner said "your suppose to be paying for these repairs but your mom blah blah blah" AND the check engine light is STILL ON!!! The rear strut is making more noise than the one that his mechanic fixed.(in the front) i dont mind paying him more than kbb for him setting up a payment plan bi weekly. but 3 grand is MORE than the KBB EXCELLENT CONDITION VALUE which my car is borderline good/fair. And he seems to be dodging my repair requests for the vehicle. Im suppose to pay him xmas eve and am contemplating if i should i not? But i think he has some sort of contract (which i signed) for payments to be received on time. (and so he wont get ****** if ya kno wat i mean) but my question (sorry it took so long) is what can i do to make this a FAIR negotiation for myself. I dont want to threaten him, but i also do not want to pay more than its value. I know im dumb for even accepting this but its winter and a car was needed. (can u blame me?) Please give me a good opinion, even a fact, to help me legally get what i want FAIRLY.. I dont want him to hate me cause he knows my mom...lol But Thanks A LOT!!! even for just reading....help me out and id appreciate it.|||Don't walk... RUN away from this deal.
He's trying to nickel and dime a co-worker's son, someone he considers to be a "friend". If he's willing to try to do that to a friend's son over a few dollars, just imagine what else might be wrong with the vehicle that's just lurking beneath the surface and waiting to bite you in the backside.
You need only offer a polite "No, thank you." and never look back. If he starts demanding to know why, you can tell him that you'd hate to have something unexpected go wrong that might leave hard feelings between him and your mom.
Best of luck. I hope this helps.|||With friends like that you don't need enemies. You paid double what the car is worth. Sorry, but it is what it is. KBB is only a guide and is high on the prices. Dealers use it to help sell, never to buy. I can give no advice here. Education is sometimes expensive.
